VANCOUVER—Roughly four per cent of CBC (3.7 per cent) and CTV’s (4.1 per cent) coverage of the federal government’s child care, pharma care and dental care programs reported the costs to taxpayers, finds a new study published today by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank.
“The federal government has launched three large, and very costly social programs in recent years, but Canadians—many of whom rely on television news for their information—have not been given adequate information about the costs or how they will be paid for,” said Lydia Miljan, senior fellow with the Fraser Institute and author of Media Coverage of Federal Spending Announcements on Child Care, Pharma Care, and Dental Care.
